Ramblings
Haven't written for quite a while because:
1. I have been very busy with classes and assignments
2. There hasn't been much to write about (except for financial mess which I am sure everyone is aware about).
So, what's new!
Well, a good news for all who are planning to join HEC Paris in future (maybe in 2010). HEC is launching an expensive drive to raise its profile. Read here
Apart from this, the new batch is here. They are a bigger intake, around 150 in number; I haven't got a chance to interact with many of them, might get to know them better in future. Like last year, they have already started campaigning for MBAT elections. Watch some creative videos

Last term at HEC
I began my last term here this month; Started the term with a 3 day seminar-cum-course on "Ethiques and Performances" which was held in Domaine de Chednac (near Puy en Velay in South France). It was an interesting course where we discussed and debated on how to deal with ethical issues that we could face in our professional life.
This was followed by the fifth edition of Annual Sustainability Conference, a 2 day event organized by HEC MBA students each year. It was a good event where we had round table conferences with industry leaders in the field and some presentations by firms working in development consulting. I was impressed with the presentations by MBA Without Borders and Dalberg about their development consulting activities.
Our regular classes resumed last week with my first class at Monday 8 AM! It wasn't easy going back to school after the summer break and I did have some long days in the first week itself. We already had plenty of work in the first week and I had to work on two assignments. My courses in this term are not evenly spread out - I have a lot of courses till Oct end and then just the core course in Nov and Dec. That means I'll have plenty of time to dedicate on job-search.
Gotta work now - have to finish some readings for today's class...

$100bn note!!
Okay, it is actually Z$100 bn note (Zimbabwe dollars) and not USD. Zimbabwe recently launched this note against its 2.2 Million annual inflation rate (Yes, you heard that right) This is hyperinflation at its worst.
Even this note is barely sufficient to buy a loaf of bread. At present rates, it takes atleast Z$500 bn a day to survive!!!
Read the complete article here
So, if you wanna be a billionaire, go to Zimbabwe and find a job ;)
